Championship: Promoted leaders Burnley host second-placed Sheff Utd

when they beat Middlesbrough.

The Clarets have enjoyed a superb season and now need a maximum of 11 points from their final seven games to secure the title.

A victory today over second-placed Sheffield United would go a long way to securing top spot and be a great way for boss Vincent Kompany to celebrate his 37th birthday.

The Blades are the last team to beat Kompany's men in the league, all the way back in early November.

A win for Paul Heckingbottom's men tonight would end Burnley's unbeaten home record and go a long way to making sure that this is a Premier League fixture next season.
